The second direct listener election of a Local Advisory Board (or Board of any kind at Pacifica) is
underway at KPFA. The community is holding this election to elect listeners under the aegis of the
KPFA LAB.

But we could sure use your help. The election is going to cost $12,000, not including repaying one
of our volunteers who covered some large expenses himself last year. IMPORTANT
DEVELOPMENT: Until November 1, donations of exactly $300 or $600 made to the Center for
Voting Democracy through Giveforchange.com (see link from "about us" on their website) will be
matched in full!!

I would urge anyone who loves Pacifica to help with some dollars toward funding this crucial
election. I am asking because supporting direct listener elections at KPFA supports the network we
are trying to save, one which as is potentially reaches over 20% of American households. An
elected LAB is more democratic, helps us in the lawsuits against Pacifica, and will aid in
democratizing the rest of the network.

Please send your contributions to the KPFA LAB Election Committee. Contributions of $300 or more
are also tax deductible, if made payble to the Center for Voting Democracy (CVD). Otherwise if you
prefer, checks can also be made to Californians for Proportional Representation (CPR) and either way
should be mailed to:

KPFA Election Committee
P.O. Box 13349
Berkeley, CA 94712

(Please put "FOR KPFA Election" in the memo section of your check).

Many thanks for your standing up for the listeners and democracy at Pacifica. This will come to
WBAI, Houston, L.A. and the rest of Pacifica one day - sooner than later!
